The Theory
• Waveguide Slot Antennas have horizontal polarization
• Babinet’s principle
Figure 1:Slot to Dipole Relation [1]
The Theory
• Waveguide cutoff frequencies still apply
• Radiation occurs when slot is not directly in the center of
the waveguide
• Allows very high transmission of EM waves
• To excite the wave, there must be a coupling of λg/4 for E field
